Windows eXPerience Freestyle Update - Service Pack 1
Your way in Re-EXPERIENCING the Best of the Digital Age!
Mirror of Notes.rtf:
This document is here to discuss what is brand new on this and to point out issues that you should be aware off.
Please Read!
I can and will ignore you if you point out any issues that are listed, you should've read the issues before complaining. As it is my mod, I can do whatever I want with it. Meaning I do not have to add/change anything you suggest.
Please note that the program WindHawk is installed by default. It is required for proper functionality for the mod. If you want to add a new WindHawk mod, it is required to re-install the program.

Issues
⦁ 32-bit programs still show a 32x32 icon downscaled on the caption.
⦁ Some online games with an anti-cheat may not work with the mod.
⦁ Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken WindowMetrics from the aftermath.
⦁ The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
⦁ The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
⦁ Some programs might show the wrong Caption Text color.
⦁ Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
⦁ Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
⦁ File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up when it's opened when it's maximized by default.
⦁ Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
⦁ Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
⦁ Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy and being faithful to Windows XP.
⦁ On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
⦁ Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale/Royale Noir & Zune/Embedded, this can be fixed by adding one blank character when renaming each of them.
⦁ All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticable when a program is not responsing, running a program as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
⦁ Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (https://escargot.chat/). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure
